New Band Featuring Allen West Issuing "Death's Crown"

Abyss Records' Summer of Sickness campaign continues with the release on July 6th of SouthWicked's "Death's Crown." It actually all started when Allen West (Six Feet Under, Obituary) and Marco Vreven (The Quiescent, Exterminator) on the Lowbrow 'Buried in Europe' Tour decided to start a new band. A couple of months later they were working on some songs and recorded a demo tape in the Red Room Studio's in Ybor City. Rock Rollain (Kult of Thorn) joined the forces and days before the first gig they asked Sven Poets from Shattered Skull (BE) to come aboard.

Below is the tracklisting of the nine-song "Death's Crown," with the cover art featured in the YouTube upload of the track "Craving for Blood" directly following it. SouthWicked also has a big gig scheduled at the Titan Fest in the De Klinker Club in Aerschot, Belgium on September 15th, playing with at least eight other confirmed bands.
